This species spends the winter in the tropics, and comes north for the breeding season. They are often heard more than they are seen,
but will sometimes perch at the edge of the forest, looking for flying insects, as this one was doing. Quite an interesting species to observe and photograph; the lemon yellow colour looks nice as part of their plumage, as well.

Terrific, inquisitive pose of this subtly beautiful species. The lemon yellow in conjunction with the cinnamon color is a very pleasing combination.
